This book is for all those-community workers, adult educators, social activists of every kind-who want to overcome pessimism and play a part in changing society in the direction of peace, justice and dignity for all human beings. As author Brian Murphy points out, many of us are pessimistic about our ability to change the world when confronted by the powerful forces of big corporations and big government. Murphy reveals the social and personal dilemmas which hold people back from social engagement, and argues that the various constraints we face can be overcome. In this new edition, David Austin explains in his Introduction why this book, first published in 1999, is perhaps more relevant to our times than ever, offering insights from his own experiences of engaging critically with the book and with others. And in his Afterword, Brian Murphy reflects on the continued relevance of the original text, emphasizing how our humanity is being corroded and commodified. To reclaim our humanity, he argues, we must transform ourselves to transform the world. Brian Murphy's immensely inspiring book, Transforming Ourselves, Transforming the World, deeply challenges us to think and rethink everything we knew and thought we knew.-Nnimmo Bassey, Executive Director, Health of Mother Earth Foundation & Right Livelihood Award Laureate in 2010 We need more conversations like the one in this book, which are rooted in hope while honestly working through a foundationalway of seeing and understanding ourselves in the bigger picture.- Christina Warner, Co-Executive Director and Director of Campaigns and Organising, Council of Canadians. This is one of the coolest, enjoyable and important books I have read in recent years. Written from the heart as well as the head, it is a breathtakingly visionary, unique and insightful take on the life of the ultimate activist.-Hope Chigudu, Feminist activist
